I'm sure Erel and the B4X community would hate even the thought of it, but if Microsoft did purchase B4X tomorrow, I think it would fly. Unless you are using Visual Studio continuously, it is a nightmare to pick up and knock-out a quick VB.Net (or C#) app. And trying to do anything cross-platform (i.e. Apple) .. .well, basically I gave up at the first step! I think B4X would sit very nicely alongside Visual Studio, perhaps using VS Code as the IDE, targeting the hobbyist until it has the user base to enter the professional field.
